February 10, 1985|Sunday Call-Chronicle

Hanover Township fire officials yesterday reported that a fire damaged the first and second floors of a house belonging to Andrew Moconyi at 1540 Winthrop Ave.

Gary Souilliard, second assistant fire chief, said the fire began in the northwest corner wall of the home. He said the fire burned out the wall and burned a hole in the floor of the house and porch roof. He said the building had heat, smoke and water damage to the first floor and mostly smoke and water damage to the second.

Souilliard said the investigation was not completed by last night but the cause of the fire was "electrical in nature."

He said the fire was discovered by Moconyi's daughter about 3 p.m. when she arrived home. After hearing the smoke alarm she went to a neighbor's home and telephoned for help.

No injuries were reported. No damage estimates were available last night.
